Big No No Act Reveal @ceilirae Céilí Rae Minogue is an early-late-mid-twenty-something from Belfast with a surreal sense of humour and an adorably stiled delivery. Shortlisted for ‘BBC New Comedy Awards’ and a ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ semi-finalist, her up-to-date references include jokes about Keith Chegwin and Malala Yousafzai. She really hopes you’ll laugh at her jokes even if you don’t understand them.

Second Act Reveal for Big No No at @theharlequinsheffield on Sunday 22nd March is @vixleyton ! Discovered by Mark Watson on Twitter, Welsh comic exiled to Sheffield, Vix Leyton is a natural storyteller with a keen eye for observation, combining warm, whimsical charm, as well as a PR hustler. You’ve maybe heard of her, you just might not know how - could be comedy, could be her consumer champion alter-ego who talks about Clubcard points on BBC. A Funny Women awards stage semi finalist, finalist for the Industry award and named as ‘One to watch’ in 2023. Not so new comedian of the year 2024 finalist. Her panel show podcast ‘The Comedy Arcade’ is both an audio success and compelling live show, picking up a nomination for Leicester Comedy’s best podcast in 2021 and selling out Edinburgh fringe. Regular MC for pro nights including Red Imp Comedy, and Outside the Box. You can also watch her Special on OUTflix - an adaptation of her 4* debut ‘Antihero’ Robin Ince: “Bursting with impish energy, exudes an infectious delight” Mark Watson: “Vix has a talent for reading a room and playing with an audience. She is funny, charismatic, resourceful and likely to achieve great things’ ‘Charming, surprisingly dark and gonna be famous’ Andrew O’Neill ‘Like hanging with your funniest BFF.’ Fringe Biscuit ‘joyously full of funny’ The Scotsman ‘Purest stand up comedian I have seen in years’ BroadwayBaby ‘Affable and ebullient’ Steve Bennett, Chortle Tickets are PWYW all profits to @sheffieldelectrolysisproject Link in bio!

Hi Gang, Feel like I'm fighting for my life with this gig this week lmfao Jordans done his back in! In Essex of all places. So he can't travel, let alone give you his patented physicality. We're currently in negotiations to bring him back in November/December time as part of his tour, hopefully we'll be able to give you guys a special discount to that show. In the meantime our bacon has been saved from the fire and placed back into the frying pan by none other than Freya Parker of Lazy Susan fame. But don't take my word for it (I'm passing her the laptop now) Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee and modern, normal person mines for LOLs in her new solo show. Once she's figured it all out (with your help), this will be a brave and landmark briefing on the most hilarious topics of all: ageing, Vinted and AI. Never heard of her?? She is the absolute and total and main star of these things: Jurassic World: Dominion, Wonka, One Day (Netflix), Mash Report (BBC2), Deep Cover (Amazon), Lazy Susan (BBC3). Still never heard of her??? She's the shortest half of sketch-duo Lazy Susan: “Outrageous and irreverent” ★★★★ The Guardian. (now passing the laptop back to me) Woah what a resume, thanks for being understanding honestly I'm sorry for the constant updates Cheers, Thom Tickets in bio!
